Guys

I have created a new domain which has a potential length on 255 characters.

On the form when used, it scrolls the text because the box ins't long enough.

Is there a way to have a text area or make the box more than one line so you do not have to scroll through the text?

Cheers

Not sure if this would work for you, but what I did once was to put 3 80 character columns on the form. Then I just concatenated them for the table. I finally convinced the users to use text instead. I looked around for a method to do what you requested, but I never found a solution. Of course I never looked real hard, the users really wanted to use text - they just didn't know it. :)

Forgot to mention that when I read the records in I had to separate them into the 3 form fields. One of the things that helped convince the users to use text.

Good Luck!

Hi Andy,

In the BaaN-5 series, tools provide the text box/area.

If you are on the BaaN-4 series. You can implement Mark's idea or another option would be to create a domain of 80, for that table field and use a depth of 3.

So you need not code the concatenation logic during the saving of the records and its directly stored in the table.

I have had a look and the only depth that I can see is that on the details section when you look at a table in maintain table definitions session.

Is this what you are talking about? I understood that this was used for an array of entries for a table field, and so would that work for this instance?

I cannot modify the depth of a field is there something that I need to do?

Cheers
